2023 kia seltos sx turbo specs

The Seltos's optional turbo 1.6-liter four-cylinder now makes 195 horsepower, up 20 hp from last year's model, and adds a new eight-speed automatic transmission to replace the previous seven-speed unit. A rugged-looking X-Line model also joins the lineup and features unique exterior styling.

Kia continues to offer the 2023 Seltos with two different powertrains. The base engine doesn't have enough power to be a popular choice, while the available turbocharged engine is hampered by a clunky dual-clutch automatic transmission.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance Kia offers two different four-cylinder engines in the Seltos: a 2.0-liter that makes 146 horsepower or a turbocharged 1.6-liter that pumps out 175.
